Month View

You can use the Month view to see the activities scheduled for 30 or 31 days, depending on the month, starting from the selected day.

You can see these items on the Month view:
  • The activities scheduled for the month.

  • Activity labels.

  • Icons and/or shift names for on-call shifts.

How Activities are Displayed

The shape and colors of activities are same in the Week and Month views. In the Month view, you can see the daily activities at the work day/work schedule level, instead of the time level. So, if two resources have different start times, you see their starting activities at the same level.
Note: Accessing all 30 days in a single view requires a 4K display or a multi-monitor configuration. When smaller screens are used, it is expected behavior that you scroll for the Week or Month views.
For the activities that are shorter than 1/4th of the resource schedule length, or don’t fit to either 1/4th, ½, or 3/4th of the resource schedule length, you see a condensed view with striped bars. You can click the condensed activity view to see the activity details and the activity hint. You see a segmentable activity that ends at the end of the previous day and starts at the beginning of the next day, as a single activity over multiple days. You can move activities by dragging and dropping them. If the activity is hidden inside the stripped bar, open the hint and then drag the activity to the required place. Or you could drag-and-drop the whole multi-activity block.
Displaying the Month view for large buckets, or routes that have more than 20 activities per resource per day may take additional time to render. It is recommended that you use this view when there are fewer then 20 resources to be presented. The rules for displaying activities in the Month view are:
  • Mass repeating activities (for example, lunches) are not shown.

  • Non-ordered activities are not shown.

  • Segmentable activities that end at the end of the work day and continue the beginning of the next day are shown as a single activity over multiple days.

  • If there are more then 10 activities, "and ‘n’ more" link is displayed.

  • When a resource has non-working days, they're shown as dotted pattern.

  • The On-call filter in the View menu shows only those resources that have an On-Call shift assigned with no working calendar, and it shows resources with a working calendar that are not On-call.

  • When you split the panels, it is possible to configure each panel with a different start date for the Month view.

  • When the period covers different months, the month names are shown at the very top row.

  • Activities that don't fit into ¼, ½, or ¾ of the workday length are shown as multi-activities (striped bar) using these rules:
    • If there is a single activity that has a duration between 70% and 100% of 1/4th of the day, it is shown as 1/4th of the day activity, as a solid bar.

    • If there is a single activity that has a duration between 70% and 100% of ½ of the day, it is shown as ½ of the day activity, as a solid bar.

    • If there is a single activity that has a duration between 70% and 100% of ¾ of the day, it is shown as 3/4th of the day activity, as a solid bar.

    • If there is a single activity that has a duration between 70% and 100% of the day, it is shown as the whole day activity, as a solid bar.

    • Otherwise the activity is shown as a part of a striped bar.

For example: Suppose that a work day for a mobile worker starts at 8:00 AM and the work day duration is 8 hours. In this case, the activities starting at 8:00 AM and finishing at 10:00 AM (2h = 1/4 of the work day duration), starting at 10:00 AM and finishing at 2:00 PM (4h = 1/2 of the work day duration), or starting at 10:00 AM and finishing at 4:00 PM (6h = 3/4 of the work day duration) are shown as single activities. But the activities starting at 9:00 AM and finishing at 10:00 AM (1h = 50% of 1/4th of 8h work day) and starting at 11:00 AM and finishing at 1:30 PM (2.5h is more than 100% of 1/4th of 8h work day, but less than 70% of 1/2nd of 8h work day) are shown as a multi-activity.

How Activity Labels and On-Call Shift Icons are Displayed

Your administrator must configure the labels on the Configuration > Screen configuration > Application screens > Activity time view label page. These are the guidelines based on which the activity labels and on-call shift icons display.
  • Single activities and segmentable activities are now shown with the corresponding labels. If a segmentable activity is shown as two or more segments, you can highlight all the segments by pointing to one of the segments.

  • When multiple activities are shown, it is possible that only the first few characters of the label appear. To view the complete information, click the individual activity hint.

  • If there are no activities for a given day, and an on-call shift exists, the on-call shift is shown for the whole width of the day cell.

  • If activities are planned for an on-call shift day, the shift shows as an icon. The icon appears before the activities, if the shift starts before the last activity for the day ends. The icon appears after the activities, if the on-call shift starts after the last activity for the day ends.

  • When both on-call and activities are shown, the name of the on-call shift may not appear. To view the complete information of the shift, click the shift hint.

  • Let’s say the shift is shown as an icon, or the name of the shift is truncated due to its length. You can click the shift icon to see the full name of the shift, its start and end time as a tool tip.

  • If a resource doesn’t have activities, but has an on-call shift for a given day, the on-call shift icon and the shift name are shown. If a resource has one or more activities and an on-call shift, the on-call shift is shown only as an icon.
